Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Ashina Bisuo strode to Yaoying and just got off the horse, her face was pale, she was cold and dusty, but her smile was still bright.

"Princess, don't come here unharmed."

Yaoying uncovered her mask, flicked the slush on her boots with a soft whip, and fell on Bi Suo's injured leg. He was limping when she left the holy city. The witch doctor asked him to rest for a few months. How could he be able to ride a horse so quickly?

"The general's injury is healed?"

Bi Suo smiled and kicked her long legs pretendingly.

He looked at Yaoying, his blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile: "I am worried about the princess. I just recovered from the injury, so I rushed over to take the princess back to the palace. I heard that Gaochang Langjun is handsome and good at singing and dancing. Did the princess forget me?"

Yaoying raised her eyes, her jet-black eyes stared at Bi Suo for a long time, and then she smiled.

"It's freezing cold, and the general's leg injury has not healed. Just go into the house and talk."

Her voice is still soft.

Bi Suo was speechless for a while, looking at Yaoying's back who turned neatly into the room without hesitation, and slowly put away her smile.

Yuanjue, who was left alone, looked at the opportunity, rushed forward a few steps, and asked in a low voice: "General, have you received the letter?"

Bi Suo nodded and looked around: "I left three days ago and just received your letter on the road. Where is the regent?"

Since Yaoying's group set off, he was restless, having trouble sleeping and eating. Several times he wanted to leave for Gaochang, but he was stopped by Chima and the witch doctor. Three days ago, the holy city came to the guests. Chima was busy banqueting the guests. He found the opportunity to sneak out of the holy city. When he first arrived in Shacheng, he saw the letter brought back by the goshawk. They met when they left and returned.

Yuanjue's expression was tense, her voice low, and she said in Sanskrit: "The regent is alone these days. No one will be seen during the day. He will definitely come back if he doesn't stay overnight. I dare not get too close. This morning The regent went east and has not yet returned."

Bi Suo frowned and asked, "Did the Regent hurt someone?"

Yuanjue shook his head: "The Regent didn't hurt anyone. Only that night when the Regent was going to work, I was in a hurry. I got too close and was shocked by internal forces. I was slightly injured. I just took a medicine."

Bi Suo glanced at Yuan Jue's face with a solemn expression.

Yuanjue patted his head: "Also... the two Tiantianzhao princesses talked to the regent, the regent ignored her, but the princess Wenzhao didn't seem to care at all. Every day she asked me where the regent was, and ordered the soldiers. Keep hot rice and hot cakes for the regent, every day."

Bi Suo's pupils shrank suddenly: "The Regent ignores Princess Wen Zhao? Why do you ignore it? How did Princess Wen Zhao react? Tell me more."

Yuanjue recalled, while slowly telling the situation on the road these few days.

"No matter what Princess Wen Zhao and the Regent say, the Regent always says nothing, and Princess Wen Zhao is the same as before. The regent has not even seen anyone in the past two days, and only came back at night, when Princess Wen Zhao had already stopped."

Bi Suo frowned and groaned.

No one knows better than him how terrible it is when Sultan Gu can't suppress his skill. Why is Princess Wen Zhao not afraid at all?

Why did Sultan Gu... not take the initiative to get angry with his father?

...

In the room, Yaoying took off her cloak and animal skin gloves, brushed off the snow from her body, and looked out the door through a small slit raised by the felt curtain.

Bi Suo and Yuan Jue leaned together and spoke in a low voice. She couldn't hear what they were discussing. Even if they heard it, she might not understand.

An open flame in the hearth in the hall was sizzling. Xie Qing cleaned the couch and invited Yaoying to go over and cook.

Yaoying's legs were so cold that she almost lost consciousness. She leaned for a while by the fire, and the soles of her feet slowly warmed up. After a while, she felt soreness, pain and itching.

Last year, she suffered from frostbite on her hands and legs. These days, the wind has been in the snow and her hands and feet are itchy again.

Yaoying resisted not grasping her hands, holding a bowl of hot mutton soup to warm her cold hands, raised her head and glanced at the thick felt curtain at the door.

Wind entered the house through the cracks, and there was a pool of wet snow on the ground at the door.

Where did Sudan go in this dripping weather?

Isn't he cold when he stays in the wind and snow all day?

...

Bi Suo talked with Yuanjue for a while, mounted a healthy horse, followed the guidance of the soldiers, and headed east.

He followed the traces of the caravan cart all the way to find nothing. Seeing that it was late and the clouds were low, he could only sigh and turn his head back to the post.

The yard was silent, and the soldiers took a rest after exhausting all day. Only the hall where the stove was burning was still lit, and there was a large pot on the stove, and a large pot of soup was filled with gurgling bubbles.

Yaoying sat in front of the hearth, heard footsteps, scooped a bowl of soup, and handed it to Bi Suo.

"The general has some hot soup to warm it up."

Bi Suo was stunned for a while, then strode over and took the soup bowl. His stiff fingers were scalded, and the pain was as fine as a needle stick.

"What about them?"

He took a sip of the soup, inhaled so hot, blew the soup bowl, and asked casually.

"I let them settle, Ah Qing is on the vigil." Yaoying fiddled with the charcoal fire in the furnace with the tongs, her face was bright with red flames reflected on her face, "The general just went to the regent?"

Bi Suo said, thinking of something, his eyes turned a few times on Yaoying's slender silhouette.

"The princess hasn't rested so late, is she waiting for the regent?"

Yaoying raised her eyes, looked straight at Bi Suobi's eyes, nodded, and shook her head again.

"I'm also waiting for General Ashina."

Bi Suo was stunned.

Yaoying stared at him: "During the day, the general said that he would come to Gaochang regardless of the injury in order to take me back to the royal court. Is this a sincere remark or is he just coaxing me?"

Her eyes were clear and gentle, and she didn't mean to ask him, but Bi Suo felt it was more unbearable for him than asking him harshly.

He could barely hold the soup bowl in his hand and looked away with a guilty conscience.

Yaoying smiled and looked back.

"I understand that the general came to Gaochang for the regent, for the royal court, not for me."

Bi Suo faltered, his face hot.

Yaoying looked at the flames swaying in the hearth, and slowly said, "I am living in the royal court. Apart from the Buddha, the general has taken care of me a lot. People in the royal court hate the Han people, but the general said that they treat me as a friend to save my relatives. After the soldiers were busy, I was very grateful to the general. I believe that the general did not mean to me and regarded the general as a friend. I know that the general is suave and used to joke with the little lady. The confidante can line up from the gate of the palace to the gate of the city. The sweet words of the little lady came casually..."

There was a crackle in the furnace.

Bi Suo's handsome face became more and more red.

Yaoying turned her head to look at him, with a solemn expression, and asked, "Please forgive me, I want to ask the general, does the general have any affection for me?"

Bi Suo has seen a lot of women, some are bold and unrestrained, some are shy and graceful, some are savage and savage. They are merciful everywhere, causing a lot of romantic debts, and making troubles several times. The most embarrassing time, he was blocked by four or five women in a corner asking why he had let them down.

But that time was not as embarrassing as the current situation.

Facing Yaoying Qiushui's squishy eyes, Bi Suo was embarrassed with embarrassment.

He lied to the princess.

Yaoying smiled faintly, "I know the general's answer, and the general doesn't have to be embarrassed. It's me who cares and has nothing to do with the general."

There was a buzz in Bi Suo's head, and he wanted to find a place to get in.

He was obviously the one who deceived the princess with bluffing words, but the princess said that she was careless, not only to remind him of the meaning, but also to give him a step down, to expose the matter in such an understatement, and this kind of tolerance really made him ashamed.

He never dared to tease the princess again.

Bi Suo was both guilty and frustrated, sitting in front of the stove holding the soup bowl, his head drooping and listless.

Yaoying glanced at him and put a spoonful of hot soup in his bowl.

Bi Suo immediately regained his energy, took a sip of the soup, his eyes rolled around, and smiled and asked, "I also want to take the liberty to ask the princess a question."

"The general just asks."

Bi Suo raised his chest and smiled between his eyebrows: "I am handsome, tall and handsome, and riding a horse. There are countless little ladies who Wang Ting admires for me. During the days I spent with the princess, was the princess really unmoved? "

Yaoying chuckled and shook her head.

A look of disappointment flashed across Bi Suo's face: "The princess really didn't touch her heart?"

He has never been so patient to please a little lady!

Yaoying looked at the hearth and said softly: "The general knows my situation, my hometown is thousands of miles away...I want to return to my hometown as soon as possible, and be reunited with my brother as soon as possible..."

She was afraid that Li Zhongqian would meet Aling, the capital of Shanghai.

When her life was at stake, she didn't have the heart to touch her children.

Bi Suo looked at Yaoying, with a pity in his heart, and gently twitched his mouth, and said: "It's not mine, it reminds the princess of sadness. Buddha protects, the princess must be able to reunite with her brother, and the princess should not be sad."

Yaoying laughed, let out a long sigh, cheered up, and said, "Thanks to meeting the Buddha, my situation is much better than before. This time I made many friends in Gaochang, and they are as eager to return to the Central Plains as I am. If the plan goes well, the news will be sent back to Liangzhou soon."

At that time, she will be able to leave.

Bi Suo calculated it silently in his heart. If everything went well, it would be almost a full year for Tamaraga to take in Yaoying.

The modern girl finally had an epiphany and broke off love. Princess Wen Zhao quietly left the palace and returned to the Central Plains.

This is good for everyone.

He thought to himself.

The two sat in front of the stove and talked quietly. Bi Suo drank three bowls of broth. Sultan Gu never showed up.

Yaoying got up, raised the curtain and glanced at the vast night sky like splashing ink, thought for a moment, and said: "There are naan cakes and hot soup in the stove. When the regent comes back, the general remember to remind him."

Bi Suo answered vaguely.

Yaoying went back to the house, blew out the light, but did not sleep, instead, she was dozing off against the dirt wall wrapped in bedding.

I don't know how long she was half-dreaming and half-awake, and suddenly heard a few noises from downstairs, she immediately put on her clothes and walked to the ground, tiptoe to the window facing the hall, listening carefully to the movement downstairs.

There were voices in the hall, the pressure was very low, and she didn't know what weird language was, and she didn't understand a word.

Only one voice was low and dull, and it sounded a little tired. The other one is slightly clearer, cautious and respectful.

Yaoying shivered with the cold, returned to the bed and wrapped the bedding tightly.

Is Sultan Gu hiding from her?

...

Downstairs hall.

Bi Suo waited until midnight when only a hood of soot remained from the charcoal fire in the furnace. The north wind blew into the room, and a red light appeared from the ashes from time to time.

He remembered Yaoying's words and took out the naan cakes and hot soup from the stove.

The crock is tightly covered, and the soup and cakes are hot.

Bi Suo opened the soup bowl and looked at it. The soup was light, without any scallion and ginger, and there were no spice fillings in the naan cakes.

This is different from the food of other soldiers.

Bi Suo's heart beat wildly for a moment.

At this moment, there was a creak of boots walking through the snow from outside the door, and then, the sound of footsteps came to the door, one hand lifted the felt curtain, the wind screamed, and a cold wind with snow particles poured into the hall. In the middle, the ashes were blown up, exposing the reddish charcoal at the bottom.

There was a dense layer of sweat on Bi Suo's spine, his heart tightened, he put down the earthen jar with his hands lightly, held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and raised his eyes.

The figure at the door stepped into the room step by step, the black narrow-sleeved robe was full of wind and snow.

Yixing Rudou's light shook lightly, and the faint light shone on his face, reflecting the hideous scars all over, and also illuminating his blue eyes.

Yasha's face, compassionate eyes.

He looked at Bi Suo, without a hint of surprise in his eyes, and said flatly: "You are here."

The murderous intent was still there, but the internal strength was reduced and there was no sign of anger.

After receiving the letter, Bi Suo finally put the heart he had been holding back to its original position, let go of her hand, and bowed down on one knee.

"My leg injury is almost healed. If I can **** the princess back to the royal court, the regent can return to the holy city first."

Sultan Gu made no sound, his eyes swept over Bi Suo's saber around his waist.

Bi Suo was hairy and sweaty.

This knife was left to him by the master.

He steadied his mind and whispered: "The Regent, you have to go back. Yuanjue said that you almost had a seizure a few days ago."

Sultan Gu looked at the hearth.

The fire was extinguished, and the earthen jar was thrown in the corner at will, the heat lingering in the mouth of the jar.

He recognizes this earthen jar.

Without a trace of expression on his face, he turned to leave, and said indifferently: "This is still a few days away from Sand City. Don't take it lightly."

Bi Suo respectfully said: "I will take good care of the princess."

In the quiet night, there was the sound of horse hooves, and Sultan Gu saddled on his horse and rode away.

When Bi Suo raised his head again, Sultan Gu was no longer visible.

The night wind tore the rolled felt curtain, he stared at the ink-stained night in a daze, his hands clenched into fists.
